Pictures of the Honda Brio
Honda Brio interior pic: New!
Honda unveiled the near-production version of its small car Brio at the 27th International Motor Expo 2010 in Thailand on November 30. Honda Brio will be launched in India before Diwali 2011. The company will manufacture this small car at its Greater Noida factory and will likely price the Brio below Rs. 5 lakh, making it the most affordable Honda car in India. The car will compete with the Toyota Etios Liva, Hyundai i10 and i20, Suzuki Swift and Chevrolet Beat. Read our earlier story about the Honda Brio.
The Honda Brio is a very compact hatchback and measures 3.6 m in length, 1.68 m in width and 1.475 m in height. This makes it similar to the Nissan Micra in comparison. Honda has tried to make maximum use of cabin space with some intelligent packaging and space-saving measures. The front of the car features swept-back headlamps with blackened borders and a large Honda logo on a thick chrome strip across the grille. The bumper has a large yawning airdam with integrated fog lamps. Also read: Honda Brio vs Toyota Etios Liva vs Suzuki Swift feature comparison
The interior of the Honda Brio features deep-set meters in the instrument console, quite like the Honda City, a three-spoke steering wheel and 2-DIN music system integrated in the dashboard. Initial photos show extensive use of plastic around the interiors, with a subtle dual-tone combination. The Brio is likely to have only manual HVAC controls, and not climate control. Shown here is the automatic variant of the Brio, but Honda will launch only the manual version initially in India. The car is likely to feature electrically-adjustable mirrors on the top-end variants, as well as airbags.
The front seats of the Honda Brio look supportive and the car has a high stance, making ingress and egress easy. Seen in this picture are two large cupholders for the front seat passengers and angled AC vents for the passenger. The dual-tone beige fabric seats should do well in the Indian market. Legroom looks adequate for the front seats.
The rear doors of the Honda Brio look rather small in comparison to the front, and it’s likely that rear seat ingress and egress may be a little cramped. The design gets a little quirky towards the rear, with the low-set rear windscreen glass also doubling as the hatch. The car features clear-lens jewel like tail-lamps as was originally seen on the Brio concept car. Visibility should be good out of the rear glass because of the low design, but rear seat passengers get limited glass area. None of the variants are likely to have a rear wash-wipe feature.
In profile the Honda Brio looks quite racy, with flowing lines from the front to the rear. The two deep creases in the doors add to the aerodynamic look. The sudden drop towards the rear is also sporty, but has limited boot space due to the design. Seven-spoke alloy wheels on the top-end variant of the Brio look good.
The entire rear windscreen glass is the hatchback for the Honda Brio, quite like the first model Maruti 800 (1984, SS80 model). Boot space seems limited, but then the Brio is essentially meant to be a city car. The initial pictures show that the rear bench seat is not a split type seat, and only the entire seat back can be folded down.

The first sketch of the Honda Brio that was unveiled in 2009. The final product looks quite true to the original rendering’s shape. The concept picture was of a two-door, with a more pronounced slope towards the rear. The production model, however, has a taller rear end.

The outside rear view mirrors lack LED turn indicator and comes in body color only. These outside mirrors might not have automatic control. The rear view of Honda Brio is upswing and wider which is certainly the discriminating feature of the hatchback.
The back lights are not lying in traditional style but are placed on extreme corners with all glass rear giving it a beautiful finish. A view from side seems beautiful as the windows are shaped in very peculiar way never seen before in market. There is a shed coming out from the all glass back which gives it a unique look and will stick your eyes to it. The number plate is also placed in an elegant way in a little engraved portion made for it exclusively.
The boot space is commendable in Honda Brio and the rear seats are expected to be of folding type. The front seats are also expected to be adjustable.
Honda Brio is powered by 1.2-litre Honda Jazz engine which is planned to get 1 litre motor in the near future. The wonderful car gives a displacement of 1198 cc which is one of the best figure to have in terms of engine in the hatchback segment. The engine used in Honda Brio runs on petrol and can give a peak power of 89 Bhp at 6200 rpm and beating torque of 110 Nm at 4800 rpm.
The car is expected to arrive India in festive season at a price tag of around 4.5 lakh ex-showroom.
Ford Evos Concept Unveiled
This is Ford’s concept car for this year’s IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, the Evos. The car previews brand’s new design language.
Ford Evos is a four-door, four-seat fastback concept with lithium-ion plug-in hybrid powertrain. The concept car has swinging doors that take out the fenders with them as you open them, which make it look like a Transformer or something. But in essence, it could be the new Capri, or the Focus Coupe everybody is anticipating to be revealed at IAA.
Some of its details of course will be used as you see them here on the upcoming models by Ford, things like the head and taillights, or the grille.
Apart from the looks, Evos is also an advanced car in terms of powertrain and technology. It has cloud-based hybrid system which is more sophisticated somehow than conventional systems. Cloud connectivity would provide further opportunities to enhance performance and efficiency by selecting the optimum combination of powertrain modes for any given journey. It can either use electricity to power the car, or to charge the batteries.
The system offers an overall driving range of more than 500 miles (800 kilometres) using the battery and engine.
The Evos also has a cabin built around the driver. The interior architecture features clean and simple surfaces, with a muscular, athletic character to the slim upper instrument panel, enhanced by bold trapezoidal cut-outs. Contrasting these muscular forms, curvaceous cockpit display surfaces sweep down either side of the driver, providing secondary information about vehicle and infotainment systems.

Ferrari 458 Spider GTS with glass roof in the works - report Read more: http://www.worldcarfans.com/110083128167/ferrari-458-spider-gts-with-glass-ro
If a recent report is correct, Ferrari is developing a 458 Spider GTS.
While details are scarce, the roadster will feature a glass roof that flips upright and disappears behind the seats. Of course, this cannot be confirmed since previous reports have indicated the 458 Spider will feature a folding hardtop (similar to the one used on the California) or a traditional soft top.
Regardless, the car will feature a 4.5-liter V8 with 570 PS (562 hp / 419 kW) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. It will be connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which should allow it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.6 seconds.

FOLDING HARD-TOP FOR FERRARI 458 SPIDER
PH insiders tell us that cloth is out for new drop-top 458
A folding hard-top 458 has been the subject of much speculation, especially in light of the Ferrari California's folding metal roof. It was thought for the F430 spider that a folding hard-top was too heavy and complex, but it seems Ferrari has solved these problems for the drop-top 458.
Our trusty mole was pretty thin on details, but it seems that the transparent engine cover of the coupe has been dropped, although the 562bhp 4.5-litre V8 beneath it remains thankfully unchanged.
We still don't know if the new roof arrangement will be a glass or metal job, however, or whether it will tuck down behind the seats when open, as some web rumours have predicted.
We'll know more soon, though - the 458 Spider is earmarked for a public debut at the Frankfurt motor show this autumn, so we should see pictures and details of the new car some time later this summer.
